my answer to questions like that is that it is "reasonable". Never use exact or words to that effect -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Feb 26, 18:38
If it's beer maybe that's a rounding error, gold maybe not so much -- nm - JD Feb 26, 18:06 8
- it's the difference between multiplying tonnes by grade at one decimal place and two. anyone who's doing this professionally should know that. - mafic Feb 26, 18:10 7
  - $650,000 approx -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 26, 18:19 1
    - honestly no mine in the world knows how much gold is in their deposit within probably 10%. depending on size I usually round to the nearest 1000oz. - mafic Feb 26, 18:24
  - That moment I realize Mafic is sitting on a literal gold mine. -- nm - David Feb 26, 18:15
  - I get that it *sounds* like a lot, but it really isn't. -- nm - mafic Feb 26, 18:12 3
    - Definitely stick with that story. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 18:16 1
      - AND DON'T LOOK IN MY SHED -- nm - mafic Feb 26, 18:17
    - Oh. Tonnes and significant digits. It's a rounding error -- nm - JD Feb 26, 18:15
